I am thankful for Jon Nielson’s new book, Bible Study: A Student’s Guide[1](P&R, 2013). Nielson, formerly director of training for the Simeon Trust[2] (which provides training in biblical exposition), was pastor for high school student at College Church[3] in Wheaton, and now serves as their college pastor.

D. A. Carson writes in the foreword:

So if you are a high schooler, read this book carefully and thoughtfully, and then loan it to your parents. Chances are pretty good that they’ll benefit from it as much as you will. If you are a parent of high schoolers, or concerned for the welfare of high schoolers you know who are not your own children, put a copy of this book into their hands and encourage them to read it. Better yet, work through it with them, or at very least read it before you give it away. They won’t mind, especially if you tell them that the reason you are giving this book to them is because you have found it so helpful yourself.
